David Benzaquen is the Founder and CEO of PlantBased Solutions, a brand management and marketing agency representing award-winning, plant-based consumer products. Prior to his business, David led advocacy and fundraising efforts for various nonprofit organizations in the animal protection, public health and environmental protection movements.
